Hello:

Looking for better giddy-up as kids are getting into slalom deep water starts. I've tried a 19 4 blade Amita, and it is better than a 3 blade 21 by far. Is a 17 pitch 4 blade going to work better than a 19 for me? Boat is a standard 17 foot bowrider. I'm hardly ever on glass to even go WOT.

That would depend on your max rpm with the 4 blade 19.Your motor needs to operate near the top of its rpm rating at wot.
